DBS X /Jojo/ Tournament of Power!!

Ace Sorou
Fuck, I'm into Dragon Ball again.
If you had to choose ten Stand users from the thread to represent the Jojoverse in the Tournament of Power, who would you choose and why?
Tournament of Power is basically a massive Team Battle Royale between several universes. Battle lasts 41 minutes. No killing. no flying unless you have wings. No weapons. Healing items prohibited. Main objective is to knock off as many opponents as you can from the arena. Teams are ten total. If your team has the most people after 41 minutes, you win.

Sofuto
without the obligatory 8 jojos?

Ace Sorou
I said Stand users from the thread.

Sofuto
oh shit
sorry

Ace Sorou
No problem.
Any ideas?

Sofuto
well(edited)
hit me with that ziggy stardust

Ace Sorou
Ziggy, okay. Why him for your first choice?

Sofuto
b-because i remember him teaming up with pinkie pie and i tried to think of someone other than my own characters

Ace Sorou
Alright, does anyone have any suggestions whose reasoning isn't based on shit?
I kid, though. You're awesome Sofuto.

Sofuto
y-you too

Ace Sorou
If it were me, I'd first take Wooden Bit and her 『ITS A JOB』. She doesn't need to fight, she just needs to hide herself until the fighting is over.
I'd then choose Fuckface's Anon and his 『FIRE IN THE CHURCH』. With every strike, male opponents will get tired, and tired opponents will get knocked off easily. Female opponents might get horny, but at least they won't want to fight him.(edited)
I'd also choose Sunny Skies and her 『TUESDAY HEARTBREAK』. Making other fighters forget their most useful techniques is very useful.
Next, I'd choose Ziggy Stardust and 『STARMAN』 because let's face it; probability manipulation is one of the best powers to have against beings who could destroy planets.
While we're on the subject of Ziggy, I'd also bring in Doctor Caballeron and his 『DEF LEPPARD』. Cancel any attack by turning it to gold? Who's going to counter that?
Final Stand user from Staranon, 『LUFTBALLOON』 and it's user.  The ability to force enemies to attack a point that isn't toward an opponent is invaluable.
Well, I'd like to choose more, but the only ones left that I want are from my story.
Sofuto, help me out. Even if you have to choose your own Stand users that you made, you have to have something.

Sofuto
bold of you to assume that i have something

StarAnon
This isn't the first time you asked about the tournament of power, right Ace? I recall there was a post in a previous thread that gathered a complete team and provided reasons for each memeber to be there.

StarAnon
I'd definitely add Button Mash with his [Electric Funeral] and Jupiter!Luna with ｢Total Eclipse of the Heart｣ to the line up.
Also, I'd guess this is the kind of setting where Badventure characters could fit really well.

Ace Sorou
I don't remember the thread. Because my memory is shit.
I don't even remember what 『ELECTRIC FUNERAL』and 『TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART』do.

Ace Sorou
If I were to choose fighters from my own story, I'd choose Indigo Zap and her 『I WANNA GO』 so she can match other fighters in strength and speed, as well as Sugarcoat and  『BLACK SUN』 to interfere with the thoughts of other fighters

StarAnon
[I WANNA GO] would do great.
As for those you don't remember
(『ELECTRIC FUNERAL』)
User: Button Mash
Stats
Power: D
Speed: N/A
Range: A
Durability: E
Precision: B
Potential: C
Abilities: Takes the form of a laser-tag rifle with a three-second cool-down. Whatever its light hits is put into a ‘disabled state’, but things which are already ‘disabled’ will be ‘reactivated’.

And...
(『TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART』)
User: Vice-Principal Luna
Stats
Power: A
Speed: A
Range: B (A for Automatic ability)
Durability: D
Precision: C
Potential: D
Abilities: A cloud of ichorous ooze which sticks to skin, and manifests bad and traumatic memories for those caught inside of it. Its secondary, Automatic ability activates when ponies in range fall into a category or condition set by the user, at which point a large pit of ｢Total Eclipse of the Heart｣ appears directly underneath of them, pulling them out of the world itself.

StarAnon
Wait... hold on.
>I'd choose Ziggy Stardust and 『STARMAN』.
Oh no.
>Beings who could destroy planets.
OH NO!
They are up against the same teams from the show?

Ace Sorou
I mean, these are different universes. And without input from anyone else, I'd assume it's the same teams from the show.
And when you think about it, Stand users have a unique advantage. Fighters from DB have never encountered anything like Stand users, and aren't used to dealing with what they would call "unusual techniques."

StarAnon
>/jojo/ universe vs universe 6
Everyone thinks Hit has [King Crimson]'s  ability.

Ace Sorou
Fug.

StarAnon
>Fighters keep attacking Ziggy Stardust without landing a hit.
>They begin to believe he has awoken Ultra Instinct.
>Actually, a lucky star got stuck in his shoe and he hasn't been able to get it off the whole time.

Ace Sorou
Honestly, I'm half tempted to throw Erich's name into the hat, because he would be able to discern Hit's abilities through careful analysis.

StarAnon
He IS the most useful one after all :sweat_smile:

Ace Sorou
But I don't want to get rid of Sugarcoat or Indigo Zap, since they would be some of the most useful ones in the battle.
We now already have 10.

StarAnon
Get rid of [Luftballoons]
That atrocity doesn't even have a user.

Ace Sorou
Alright, then.

Ace Sorou
Strategy going into the battle:
>Rick tosses Bit his coat, Bit uses 『ITS A JOB』 on it to hide
>The rest split off into three groups, Rick, Luna, and Button in group 1, Anon, Caballeron, and Ziggy in group 2, and Sunny, Indigo, and Sugarcoat in group 3.
>The idea is to isolate other fighters, engaging in groups, and overwhelming them through defeat in detail.
>Rohan Over Heaven is acting as Supreme Kai of the /JoJo/verse, and DIO Over Heaven is G.o.D.

StarAnon
I like it
When do things go wrong?

Ace Sorou
I guess it would start when Bit is tossed off the arena by a particularly powerful attack that wasn't even directed at her.(edited)
She would just be blown away by the shock wave.
People would start to panic as they realize their insurance policy is gone.
That's as far as I got, so far.

StarAnon
>inb4 Caballeron pulls a Freeza and acts against his own team.

Ace Sorou
>inb4 DIO is pissed at him for it
I'm thinking two things would happen within the first few minutes.
>First, a fighter goes after Sugarcoat as she stays near the edge
>They have an overwhelming advantage, think the fight will be easy
>With the arena edge to her left, she dodges right
>The fighter goes to intercept, only to jump off the arena
>"N-nani?! I swore I jumped left!"
>Other fighter is eliminated without even being sure how.

StarAnon
>Anon uses [FITC] on team Universe 2.

Ace Sorou
>Jerez thinks that Anon has the ability to manipulate love, since most of them now want his D.

StarAnon
>Tries to do the same with Kale and Caulifa.
>It doesn't work as planned.

Ace Sorou
Kek
"Well...I never thought I'd get a show in the middle of a fight."

StarAnon
It makes them fuse faster

Ace Sorou
[muffled fucking degenerates in the distance]

StarAnon
>Erich thinks Super Sayans are the advanced form of the Aryan race.
>Super Aryans

Ace Sorou
"Blonde hair, blue eyes, incredible power...I should be recruiting them."
>Vegeta throws a Galick Gun at Caballeron
>Caballeron turns the entire beam into gold
>Vegeta doesn't really know how to react, since something like that has never happened before

Stands would be a complete mind fuck to the DB fighters

StarAnon
>"Freeza has turned into Golden Freeza!"
>...
>...
>"Why isn't he moving?"
>Caballeron laughs and goes to figjt somewhere else.

Ace Sorou
Kek.
And he's technically not dead, since he's just been turned into Gold.
I'm sure Whis can fix that.
As soon as he's tossed out of the ring
Wait, he was already dead though, wasn't he?
OH SHIT
Caballeron's main ability!
>Caballeron's Stand whistles
>Frieza's body appears to serve him

Pomnee Oatent
>Sunny Skies makes Goku forget everything from the Kaio-kenX40 to the original Kamehameha
>Gets fucking destroyed when he whips out Ultra Instinct because you can't really "remember" what you've never done before

Ace Sorou
>Indigo recognizes that this form is more dangerous, and gets a power boost
>Doesn't matter, because Sunny was KO`d, causing Goku to remember how to do the Kamehameha while fighting her(edited)
Now throw in Sugarcoat, and now Goku has a problem.
Wait, no.
『BLACK SUN』 makes your mind think in opposites, and as a result, your body uses the opposite muscles you think to use. But since UI would make Goku's body operate without thinking, Sugarcoat's ability is useless.
Damn.

StarAnon
>Indigo vs Caulifa.
>The fight where each girl grows stronger by the minute.

Pomnee Oatent
I think it'd take either [STARMAN]'s good luck/bad luck abilities or [ELECTRIC FUNERAL]  to bring down UI Goku

Ace Sorou
I know for a fact that after a couple of eliminations, especially after Bit is out, Rick would call for everyone to regroup for a change in strategy.
I think at this point, Bit, Sunny, and Anon would be eliminated. The third because he got cornered and tackled by a horny fighter, and they both went off the ring together.
Probably have a couple of the other ladies follow, wanting to get in on it.
And the chase probably continues in the spectator's seats until the angels interfere.

Pomnee Oatent
kek

Ace Sorou
The new plan would be to ambush enemies. Indigo, Rick, and Caballeron try to bait enemies into coming to a certain area, and when they get there, Luna, Sugarcoat, Button and Ziggy use their abilities to assist the first group.
The first group is basically a hunter team, while the second group is the ambush team.

StarAnon
>erich calls the team to regroup.
>not everyone makes it.
>Caballeron is scheming with other teams.
>Luna is having fun terrorizing weaker teams.
>Ziggy regroups... with Universe 11

Ace Sorou
"W...we can still make this work!"
>First priority would be to save Ziggy.
>Button and Sugarcoat hide while Rick and Indigo go to find him.

StarAnon
>At some point Anon meets Muten Roshi.
>Anon is amazed with his ero techniques.
>Roshi has a new apprentice.

Ace Sorou
>Goku is Caulifla's mentor
>Vegeta is Cabba's mentor
>And Roshi is Anon's mentor

And all was right with the world.
>Indigo gets in a fight with Dyspo
>Dyspo is amazed that Indigo can keep up with his speed
I don't know where to go from there.
>Indigo's ever increasing power in response to the danger of her situation makes Jiren twitch while he's meditating.

StarAnon
>Indigo's body and mind aren't used to sustaining such power levels.
>She begins to hurt herself the more time goes on.

Ace Sorou
>Which only further increases her power as she's being put in more danger

Pomnee Oatent
Shit guys we're getting dangerously close to a Tetsuo Shima situation

Ace Sorou
>At some point, Rick would intervene, and tell her to retire.
>He would be worried for her safety, and her health.
>She would try to protest.
>He insists that they can finish the tournament without her, and that she needs to get the rest she deserves.

StarAnon
>Team 7 uses Tayou Ken against Erich

Ace Sorou
>Rick uses Nazi Armor to try and tank it
>a la his fight vs Sour Sweet

Pomnee Oatent
>Bulma thinks he's being very fashionable

Ace Sorou
>The armor melts, as Rick misunderstood the intent of the attack

StarAnon
>Vegeta remembers Bulma's voice actress is dead at this point and goes ballistic.

Ace Sorou
Fuck, really? That's a huge loss.

Pomnee Oatent
Yeah man. I think she died before the Japanese dub ever finished.

StarAnon
Yeah. It was sad at the time

Pomnee Oatent
Or was it later?

Ace Sorou
Damn.

StarAnon
Before it finished

Ace Sorou
That sucks.

StarAnon
They did a new version of Romantikku Ageru yo in her memory and because of marketing

Ace Sorou
>Rick is cornered by Universe 7
>He's cut off from the others, and was targeted because he was acting as de facto commander
>He reveals one last trick up his sleeve
>And pulls out a Requiem Arrow
>He stabs himself with it
>And obtains 『BENZIN REQUIEM』

Pomnee Oatent
oh SHIT

StarAnon
Isn't that against the rules?

Ace Sorou
It's not a weapon or a healing item.
And Omni Kings said it was cool, so it's okay.
>inb4 that's the exact dialogue between Beerus and the Omni Kings

StarAnon
>Has been stabbed.
Not by himself?

Ace Sorou
If he got the arrow, and knew that he would get power by stabbing himself, what's the first thing you'd think he'd do?
>but how does Jiren know-
Because that's what Rick did.
Here is my question.
What is his Stand?

StarAnon
I thought universe 11 was somewhere else at that moment
But I digress
I want an alien stand

Ace Sorou
Toppo is fighting 17, and Dyspo is fighting Frost.

StarAnon
[POWER]

Pomnee Oatent
That's delightfully straightforward!

Ace Sorou
Yes.
What does it do?

StarAnon
Victory manipulation

Ace Sorou
Scheisse.

Pomnee Oatent
oh FUCK

StarAnon
Too much?

Ace Sorou
Even if Rick gets the Arrow back, he's going to need some luck on his side to win
Oh wait there's Ziggy.

StarAnon
Wink wink

Ace Sorou
What's it's stats?
Obviously Power is A.

StarAnon
Stats: Better than you

Ace Sorou
Lel.
So the Stand's power is to increase it's own power to be unstoppable, in order to ensure victory? Or is that 2OP?
Actually, how does it manipulate victory, let's ask that first.
...I got nothing. Is it similar to Ziggy's power? Or is it more a Stand Steroid?

StarAnon
Regardless of event or action, destiny is bent in a way that results in his victory.

Pomnee Oatent
So it's the Spear of Destiny
Star, is that a motherfucking Scott Pilgrim reference?

Ace Sorou
So it's basically a probability manipulation stand. It manipulates reality in order to create a more favorable outcome.
Now that I have that down...

StarAnon
>Scott Pilgrim
Woah. Didn't even think off it.
Let's say "destiny" manipulation.
Sounds more threatening

Ace Sorou
>Rick and Jiren are clashing.
>Jiren brings out his 『POWER』, and begins pummeling ARMORED!『BENZIN』
>Rick takes a knee, not being able to hold out much longer
>Suddenly, a laser light hits Jiren in one arm, disabling it.
>Button stands, smirking to himself.
>This is the opening Rick needed. He uses 『BENZIN』, reforming the chest into tentacles which grab the Arrow in Jiren's gut
>With a yank, 『BENZIN REQUIEM』 returns
>But Jiren still has his 『POWER』, as he didn't need the Requiem arrow to keep his Stand.
>『BENZIN REQUIEM』 tries to strike Jiren, but 『POWER』 keeps knocking it's fists away by striking at the forearms.
>But then, Rick sees that Jiren's arm is still disabled, and begins focusing his attacks on that side.

StarAnon
>"Go Erich Go!"
>"Why don't you help him Ziggy? Get in and throw a hit or two!"
>"Button, it's wrong to use your stand to hit somebody."
>"... but this is a dream, right?"
>:Gappythink:

Ace Sorou
>Despite the advantage of the disabled arm, Jiren is still able to keep up with Rick.
>But then...
>Wham
>"Oh yeah! It's Ziggy Stardust with the Jab!"
>Jiren is distracted, and...
>Wham
>"Du kannst deinen Verbrechen nicht entkommen!"
>Rick begins his assault, as 『BENZIN REQUIEM』 cries out.
>"AUFAUFAUFAUFAUFAUFAUFAUFAUF!"
>With a final blow, 『BENZIN REQUIEM』sends Jiren through the floor and to the abyss.
>"AUF WIEDERSEHEN!"
Name: Jiren
Status: RETIRED
>But it's no time to celebrate. >Because of Jiren's 『POWER』,  sending him through the floor has cracked the very foundation of that chunk of the arena.
>It's breaking apart, and the Jojoverse team has to run and get to another part of the arena that's more stable

StarAnon
:confounded:
It's not... great.

Ace Sorou
The text? Or the situation?

StarAnon
The situation
it feels underwhelming
"they just punched harder and won!"

Ace Sorou
That's not what happened.
I didn't go into detail here, but because Ziggy drew Jiren's attention away from Rick, Rick got the opening he needed to start wailing on Jiren.

StarAnon
It just feels... more Dragon Ball than Jojo

Ace Sorou
Well, we need a Dragon Ball moment in a Dragon Ball crossover.
We'll get our JoJo moment later.

StarAnon
I know, but I don't think the moment it became an "unwinable stand battle" was the right time.

Ace Sorou
Well, I mean, there's still five big threats on the field.
Toppo is a G.o.D in training. Dyspo is incredibly fast. Hit still has timeskip, which Rick hasn't figured out how to deal with. And let's not forget Goku and Vegeta.
17 and Frost? Let's be honest. They aren't going to beat Toppo OR Dyspo.

Pomnee Oatent
But Jiren literally wasn't able to lose

Ace Sorou
He still has a pyrrhic victory.
He took Button with him.

StarAnon
We could still have Button Mash trying to figure out how to win against those foes.

Pomnee Oatent
fug

Ace Sorou
I was also going to say that he took Ziggy with him, too. The Pyrrhic victory would essentially bring the Jojoverse down to one man, and make victory for them almost impossible.

StarAnon
I don't think if Button, Cabba, Toppo or 18 end up winning it would result in a bad end.

Ace Sorou
*17.

StarAnon
right

Ace Sorou
I mean, my idea was that because of Victory Manipulation, Jiren's power would take out most of the Jojoverse.
And it would've taken them all out, except Ziggy used a Star to save Rick, who has a Requiem Stand, and thus has the best chance of getting victory over who is left.
But the Jojoverse is in a bad spot, since no matter who they fight, it's two on one, and every opponent is more powerful.
And Rick has the arrow, meaning there's going to be a huge focus on him.

StarAnon
The fight could use more jojo moments.
Have Jiren go "Mudada" and make both [Benzin Requiem] and [Starman] shred partially apart after wailing on him. Jiren has already decided he trumps physically, so the slightest contact just brings his victory faster.
Have him explain, in a stand user fashion, that even though Erich made it to Requiem, his power had already been decided when he used it agains universe 7. The ability and power he has now isn't the one needed to win against Jiren.
This brings Erich's options down drastically, except for a single fact.
Erich, Ziggy and Button have more experience in being a stand user than Jiren, who has conveniently forgotten about his regular style of fighting since he began to try out his stand.

Ace Sorou
I like this.

StarAnon
This way, even if the result is the same, Jiren going through the floor and being [RETIRED] instead of "losing" it feels more like a proper stand battle.
By the way, is there any chance you are saving all of this Omnee?

Pomnee Oatent
No but I should be.

StarAnon
>inb4 Jiren doesn't know how to puttsun cancel.

Ace Sorou
I was probably going to compile it myself, brush it off, and write a proper green out of it.

Pomnee Oatent
"In the end, you relied too much on your new power. That fascination cost you. Goodbye, Jiren."

StarAnon
that's better!

Pomnee Oatent
That's better for me too!

Ace Sorou
Much better!

StarAnon
>Jiren has best stand... but can't pose!

Ace Sorou
>Then the arena shakes, and cracks.
>"What's going on?!"
"Jiren's 『POWER』, the circumstances always favor him having victory!"
>"But we beat him!"
"No...it's a Pyrrhic victory! He's going to take all of us out with him!"

StarAnon
Narrator voice:
>Stand users never lose!
>Having a stand already makes you a winner in the lottery that is life!
>They just get [RETIRED]!

Ace Sorou
>They all run, trying to get towards the stable part of the arena
>But Jiren's 『POWER』forces the ground to crumble away faster than they can run
>In that instant, Ziggy throws a star
"It's a slim chance, but it's still a chance. My stamina can't hold out with all three of us. Rick, take this, the last of my stars."
>Rick catches himself on some of the floor that has stabilized, and pulls himself up.
Yea? Or Nay?

StarAnon
Make Ziggy lamer and we have a deal.

Ace Sorou
>"Take this...the last of my stars."
>As he falls, a rock knocks him in the head.
>He won't wake up until after the tournament is over.
>Even then, he'll be in bed.
>He'll wake up thinking it was a dream.

StarAnon
I like it

Ace Sorou
Now, how to get Rick out of this situation.
He's got six opponents left.
All of which are more powerful, and probably want the arrow.

StarAnon
You have to get rid of the arrow.
It can't keep being a factor in the tournament.

Ace Sorou
I got it!
>Rick kneels down, grabbing the shaft of the Arrow.
"I don't need the shaft. The head is enough."
>He snaps a majority of the shaft off of the arrow, and tosses it away.
>Then, he steels himself, and begins slowly pushing the head into himself.
>He coughs up a bit of blood, and groans in pain the entire time.
>By the time he's finished, he's gasping for breath, and the head of the arrow is underneath his ribcage.
"There...now no one is getting it...without killing me first."
>He smiles.
"And that's...against the rules."

Pomnee Oatent
holy shit

StarAnon
ew
that thing's been inside an alien already

Ace Sorou
His superior blood is greater than any alien's.

StarAnon
Have Button mention to himself he could have just thrown the arrow into the void and have Rohan or the other Angels keep it away from the wrong hands.

Ace Sorou
One of the other stand users would mention that Rick might not be able to win without the Arrow. It's the only thing granting him access to 『BENZIN REQUIEM』, and he must've believed that losing it wasn't an option.

StarAnon
Oh. I thought it was like Giorno. Where the arrow falls from his stand after becoming requiem

Ace Sorou
You know JoJo. It cannot follow it's own rules sometimes.

StarAnon
Have the people who aren't fighting mention how the rules make no sense.

Ace Sorou
Probably will.
Well, now that getting the arrow isn't an issue for Rick to put up with, he has to come up with a way to fight the others.

StarAnon
>Caballeron mopes about how when he stabbed himself repeatedly he just kept getting powers instead of achieving a better stand.
>Then Sugarcoat says harshly that this arrow is just better.

Ace Sorou
So, here's the pros and cons of his situation.
Pros:
-Rick has a Requiem Stand that allows him to take on every fighter he comes across.
-The other fighters are not Stand users, and cannot gain a Stand.
-Rick doesn't have to worry about protecting anyone, as he's the last Man standing on his team.
-The other teams are just as much a threat to each other as they are to him.
Cons:
-He's outnumbered 2 to 1 no matter who he fights.
-His opponents are capable of ranged attacks with pure energy.
-And they can all destroy entire planets.
>He's tired, wounded, and maybe a little hungry.

StarAnon
I thought Button was still with him

Ace Sorou
No, he and Ziggy were taken out by Jiren's Pyrrhic victory.
Jiren tried to take out the entirety of the Jojoverse
Button was there helping Ziggy and Rick.

StarAnon
Ok, how about... in the last moments of the Jiren fight, Erich returns to the original plan. And Button Mash is hidden in a shadow somewhere in the arena.
Of course, this isn't told until later.

Ace Sorou
I was going to give Button a good fight with some of Universe 6's other fighters before this, if that's what you're worried about.

StarAnon
Nah, It's just that I like surprises like that in stories.
Ace Sorou
Botamo and Magetta, specifically.
Oh.

StarAnon
>Erich goes againt the odds and gets a triple K.O. against Goku and Toppo.
>Everyone thinks ALL the universes are about to be erased...
>But Erich had one last card under his sleeve.
Something like that

Ace Sorou
So just make everyone think that Button was KO'd?
I like it.

StarAnon
You can mention how noone notices because they are super hyped with some crazy thing Goku just did to win against HIT.

Ace Sorou
Vegeta manages to finish Universe 6 by knocking out Cabba.
Then you have Goku and Vegeta vs. Toppo and Dyspo.
Or, that's what Rick intends, anyway.
But Universe 11 is still sore about losing Jiren.
So Dyspo goes after Rick, and Toppo goes full G.o.D on Universe 7.
Actually, while they are falling, Rick uses 『BENZIN REQUIEM』 to toss Button to a nearby piece of the arena.
The others don't notice, because as luck would have it, Ziggy's star got in the way.

StarAnon
This is shown by the angels by a convenient photo that shows the tip of a his hat behind the star.

Ace Sorou
Yeah
How does Rick defeat Dyspo.
Dyspo has incredible speed, and is quite possibly faster than 『BENZIN REQUIEM』.

StarAnon
Didn't they limit his movement in the series?

Ace Sorou
They did, but Rick doesn't have any way of doing that. I got an idea, but if you have one too, let's hear it first.
If you remember, it was Gohan and Frieza who defeated Dyspo

StarAnon
I was thinking of the same way Aria won against Erich in that one ASB.

Ace Sorou
You mean, by luring him in? That was actually what I was thinking.

StarAnon
Although I guess you could use the good ol' punch in my hat trick instead of something in his mouth.

Ace Sorou
Keep in mind, 『BENZIN REQUIEM』 doesn't work like 『BENZIN』. It isn't part of Rick's shadow.
It's more like a traditional Stand.

StarAnon
>Erich summons shooters to try to limit Dyspo's movement.
>But he effortlessly dodges and disposes of the shadow soldiers the moment they appear.
>Erich tries to form a cage of sorts around them, but Dyspo calls him out saying this only gives him the upper hand.
>Dyspo begins to combo him, and right before landing the finishing punch...
Oh.
Well, I guess it doesn't work
What did you have in mind?

Ace Sorou
Rick doesn't have a ranged attack with his Requiem form.
He lost the ability to manipulate shadows, but gained the ability to OHKO DB characters.
No, not OHKO.
But deal incredible damage to.
But that's only if he hits.

StarAnon
>Dyspo hits him so hard that the arrow falls off from Erich.
>At that very same instant, [Benzin]'s punch comes flying from his hat and K.O.'s Dyspo.
>Erich wins by accident.

Ace Sorou
That could work, but then the Arrow would come back in play, and it wouldn't feel very JoJo, and that's opening up a whole new can of worms.
I got an idea.

StarAnon
>Erich is straight up losing against Dyspo.
>In comes Goku and bails him.
>Why?
>He wants to fight against the strongest stand user.

Ace Sorou
Despite not being able to manipulate shadows, 『BENZIN REQUIEM』 still has some range.
Akuma's startup for the Raging Demon? That's what Rick's ranged attack is.
>Dyspo is absolutely wailing on Rick.
>Rick tries to put up his guard against Dyspo's onslaught, but Dyspo is just too quick.
>Dyspo knocks Rick right on the head.
>Rick gets knocked to the ground, and seemingly falls unconscious.
>"Now, Dyspo! Finish off the Jojoverse! Toss him out of the Ring!"
>Dyspo goes to grab Rick.
>"AUF! Du kannst deinen Verbrechen nicht entkommen!"
>"H-he was playing opossum?!"

StarAnon
>Raging Demon but with a swastika in the background happens.

Ace Sorou
YESH

StarAnon
I like it.
Erich needs to outsmart the DBS characters.

Ace Sorou
>『BENZIN REQUIEM』 launches out at the opponent, and grabs them
>"Du kannst deinen Verbrechen nicht entkommen!"
>The area goes black.
>It's silent, before you hear
>"AUFAUFAUFAUFAUFAUFAUFAUFAUF!"
>The lights return, and a giant flaming swastika appears.
>"AUF WIEDERSEHEN!"
>The opponent goes flying.
Hold on, cooking dinner.

Ace Sorou
>The opossum sneak attack wasn't as effective as Rick hoped.
>Dyspo is still up, even if he is fucked up by 『BENZIN REQUIEM』's ability.
>Dyspo, getting desperate, lashes out at Rick
>Rick doesn't think he'll be able to react in time
>But suddenly, Dyspo is intercepted by Goku, and knocked out of the arena.
>This surprises all the remaining universes
"You...you helped me? Why?"
>"I'm not going to let this chance slip by! You're the strongest Stand user, and I haven't fought one of you before!"
"But what about your partner?"
>"Vegeta? He wants to fight Toppo on his own. And it looked like Dyspo wasn't going to last much longer anyway."
>Rick smirks.
"I see. Then come at me anytime, Goku."
I like that idea, so I'm going to include it, Star.

StarAnon
:celebrate:

Ace Sorou
>"This...this must be the Ultra Instinct that Goku tapped into before! He can win!"
>"Not without going on the offensive. If you notice, he's only dodging Erich's attacks. If he gets hit by any one of the punches thrown by 『BENZIN REQUIEM』, it'll spell the end for him."

Ace Sorou
>Erich thinks to himself.
'If this keeps up, he's going to find a way to attack with that new ability he has. If I'm going to win, I need to change the course of this battle!'

Ace Sorou
>Rick throws a rock while Goku is dodging
>Goku dodges the rock while he's dodging Erich's other attacks.
>Goku continually backs up, still on the defensive with Ultra Instinct.
>Just as Goku is getting the hang of UI, he falls, slipping on a loose, fist sized rock
>It's the same rock Rick threw earlier
>Goku is forced to block an attack from 『BENZIN REQUIEM』
"And now, my victory begins."
>But is interrupted by Toppo, who has defeated Vegeta.

Ace Sorou
Lulz.

Ace Sorou
>The three fighters square off against one another.
>Toppo has his G.o.D energy
>Goku has Ultra Instinct
>And Rick has his Requiem Stand
>Goku is holding his arm, but is still able to fight.
>The sharp pain from 『BENZIN REQUIEM』 is steadily growing, but Goku can take it, at least for another five minutes.
>And that's all that's left in the Tournament.

StarAnon
>Opening song begins to play

Ace Sorou
>And this is where 『BENZIN REQUIEM』's second ability comes into play.
>It looks like the combatants are about to strike, but then, Erich speaks up.
"Know what your sin is, Goku?"
>Goku and Toppo stop.
"Why my 『BENZIN REQUIEM』 is so effective on you?"
>Erich points dramatically.
"It's because you're selfish. You've endangered your own planet more times than you care to admit. Billions of innocent people, helpless before beings of your power, put into harm's way by your careless actions. And this time, it's not just your planet, it's your universe, too! This is all your fault! And for what? Your own selfish ambitions, and pursuit for personal glory! If you didn't want to fight strong foes, none of us would be in this position!"
>"H-hey, wait a minute! The Omni Kings were going to destroy our universes anyway! You can't pin this on me!"
"But if your Trunks hadn't decided to go back in time to save you, the Omni Kings would never had decided to erase the universes in the first place! And Trunks went back in time to fix your mistakes with the Red Ribbon army! I've seen your sins, Goku! You're the source of all the calamities of every universe!"
>"Now wait a minute! If I hadn't interfered, those guys would've done some bad stuff!"
"Maybe so, but at least they wouldn't have endangered the world."
>"I'm innocent, I tell you!"
>Rick smirks, and points to Toppo.
"Try telling him that."
>Rick remembers the words of Josef Goebbels.
>Good propaganda doesn't need to lie.
>Toppo, after hearing Goku's sins, thinks Goku needs to be destroyed more than anything else.
>He goes straight for Goku, as Rick steps away, formulating his next plan.
Thoughts?

StarAnon
I want the comentary from the peanuts gallery after this scene.

Ace Sorou
Obviously, multiple people would be impressed with Rick's craftiness in setting his enemies against each other.

StarAnon
And then there are the guys from his team.

Ace Sorou
What do you think they would say? Honestly, I have a couple ideas. Want to hear your first.
I think a few of them might be disappointed Rick hit below the belt.
Might be angry with Goku for putting them in harm's way.

StarAnon
I'd go with Caballeron, Luna and Anon goimg after the fact that he just quoted Goebbels.
Sugarcoat would mention how Erich tends to ramble about such things whenever he is about to turn the tables so she doesn't mind.
And maybe the rest of the team would argue with the guys from Universe 7.
Oh, wait. He didn't say it.
He just remembered it.
my bad

Ace Sorou
If you want, I can have him say it.

StarAnon
I may be remembering it wrong, but didn't Hitler appear in one of the DBZ movies?

Ace Sorou
He did. In fact, the quote about the Super Saiyans was from him.
>Rick smiles at Goku.
"Just like Josef Goebbels once said. 'Good propaganda doesn't need to lie.'"

StarAnon
It would be funny if anon went all like:
>How does it feel that a NatSoc just turned the tables on your friend?
>And then have the Z fighters mention how they defeated Hitler once already.

Ace Sorou
Anon: "How does it feel that one of Hitler's boys turned the tables on your friend?!"
Vegeta: "Hitler? You mean that tiny guy in the tank who escaped from Hell once?"

StarAnon
:joy:

Ace Sorou
Caballeron: "Goebbels? Isn't that..."
Luna: "Is your friend a Nazi?"
Indigo and Sugarcoat both sigh.
I&S: "Yep."
Sugarcoat: "He's always quoting some high ranking Nazi official whenever he turns the tables on someone.
Indigo: "We've gotten used to it."

Ditherer
No, [Electric Funeral] can't unpetrify things.

Ace Sorou
Shit. We're going to have to think of something else to get Rick unpetrified.
I was originally going to have it that Goku, wanting both a good fight and to help the Jojoverse, offer energy to the petrified Erich.
It's worked before.
But then Luna attacks, and 18 and Sugarcoat have to take her down.
What do you think is a good idea, Star?

StarAnon
Wasn't there a character from another Universe who could use his energy in different ways?
If Muten Roshi was still there at the time, perhaps he could have a techinque to make Erich react from inside the gold and free himself with the help from others.

Ace Sorou
That could work. Goku is trying to vouch for Roshi in order to free him, and the Luna makes her attack.
Goku: "Right! Master Roshi, you can use your power to help their friend, right?"
Roshi: "You sure about this, Goku? They're not from our universe."
G: "I know, but he's already got this Arrow thingy, and if he's not a statue, he can keep it away from Frieza and the other bad guys!"
R: "Well, alright, you got a point. I'll unfreeze him."

StarAnon
Ki is sorta like magic in DB. I'm not saying straight up Mafuuba him, but there might be a way.

Ace Sorou
I'm sure Roshi knows something. He's immortal, after all.
So, anyway. Afterwards...
>Toppo and Goku fight.
>Both of them are getting good licks in on the other.
>Rick thinks it will take too long to fight the Victor.
>While Goku and Toppo are fighting, and the spectator's are focused on them or each other, Rick begins to run around, punching areas of the stage with his Stand.

StarAnon
>good licks

Ace Sorou
>Finally, the two combatants catch on to what he's doing, but it's nearly too late.
>"If he keeps that up, this part of the stage will fall!"
>"We need to stop him!"
>"Justice Flash!"
>"Kamehameha!"
>Rick dodges, and let's them take out a large portion of the stage that he was about to pound anyway.
>All three fall to the void.
>"Darnit! We're all going down! No universes will survive!"
>Rick laughs, pointing to another piece of the stage.
>Goku and Toppo look, and gasp.
>They see Button, smiling and waving.
>Toppo gives a small chuckle as they all fall.
>"Goku, we played right into his hands."
Of course, U11 and U7 are erased, and then Button wishes all the universes restored.
Goku: "Hey, just so you know, I had a lot of fun fighting with you guys. Toppo, Erich, Jiren, Indigo? I hope we get a chance to fight again."
And thus ends Universe 7.
Thoughts?
StarAnon
That's something very Goku to say... although I couldn't imagine how Beerus would react before, during and after the whole ordeal.
I had a lot of fun during the whole thing.

Ace Sorou
Well, now I need to collect the notes, and try to come up with some actual green.
Though, this won't be my main story, I will occasionally update.

StarAnon
We spent a good amount of hours throwing ideas.

Ace Sorou
I now feel pumped to continue RBA.

StarAnon
I'm sure the end result wil be great.

Ace Sorou
I'm glad you helped, and it was really fun.

StarAnon
Keep it up Ace!
We should all do something like this some other time.

Ace Sorou
Omnee, I'd like a favor.

StarAnon
The ending could use a "What did everyone do after the tournament."

Ace Sorou
Can you archive this? I'm on a cellphone, and it will take forever with me.
Well we all know what Ziggy did. He woke up in his bed, fully healed, and thinking it was all a dream.
Rick would go back to his normal life, but only after getting the Arrow removed, perhaps asking for help from Josuke with that.
Indigo, after experiencing such power, decided to train her body to better handle it in case she encountered someone like that again.
Sugarcoat would be telling her the best methods, perhaps developing some theories on how the U7 fighters got so strong.

Pomnee Oatent
Sure thing nibba
Gimme like 30 min
I'm actually having fun in Destiny 2 again

StarAnon

Ace Sorou

Oh shit, what are the Z fighters going to do next time they want to res someone?
